June Hatch-A-Long

[Speckles14]

I have 21 babies hatched and 10 still in the bator. Hoping they will hatch still tomorrow is day 21 for them. All the chicks are so cute hoping for a black and white polish so the 1 I have already isn't the odd ball!

You think day Olds can go in with 3 week old chicks? Probably not... that's what I was afraid of. If anyone has had luck putting chick's with older chick's let me know

I do but they need to be with in a couple of weeks of each other for best results and all should be running around ...

Well got one hatched and one about there. It's only day 19 this time. So pretty snazzy. Lol.
Well I will have 28 3 week old chick's and will hopefully soon have 17 new hatches... I think I might try it and see how it goes. Any sign of trouble Le and I do have another brooder. Although I shouldn't be so lazy and probably just split them to start off with

Yay 5! My big orange rooster was apparently very very busy. Every chick so far looks orange. Last batch of these same eggs had a few chipmunks...then again all that has hatched so far are the salmon faverolle mixes...so they are yellow, but last hatch even one of those had stripes. Never mind looks like number 5 has stripes

Alright good luck maybe later you can put up some photos of your new hatch-lings

I know why this batch most of my chick's are even more likely to be orange...my bantam hen went broody hiding eggs in the woods and the other hens were helping her fill the hidden nest, but since I wanted to hatch eggs I started keeping all the chickens in the coop until I got all my eggs for that day... and nobody will mess with the hens when big orange is there. They always wait to catch them out when he isn't looking. So they didn't really get much of a chance for these eggs. I'm guessing anyway.
